December 14, 2010 - Several “Made in NY” television series and films have received more than a dozen Golden Globe Award nominations. These are productions that are based in New York City and shoot on location throughout the five boroughs.

“New York City, the world’s greatest backdrop, continues to grow as a stage for some of the world’s best film and television," said Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. “Congratulations to the producers, actors, actresses and crew of the ‘Made in NY’ productions nominated for Golden Globe awards this year. Their success highlights New York City’s thriving film and television industry. We’ve made substantial investments to grow film and television jobs, and those investments continue to pay off and help us diversify New York City’s economy. Today, more than 100,000 New Yorkers make their living working behind the scenes in the entertainment industry, which now pumps $5 billion into the City’s economy each year. When it comes to film and television production, given New York City’s unparalleled setting and customer service, we have to ask: If you can make it here, why make it anywhere (else)?”

HBO’s new hit series “Boardwalk Empire” earned nominations for Best TV Series (Drama) while its stars, Steve Buscemi and Kelly Macdonald, were nominated for Best Actor in a TV Series (Drama) and Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Mini-series or TV Movie, respectively.
